Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

stevey removed it right before or right after he edited his latest post to say vote nickmitch. It was clearly a removal of the "vote" part of his post, which was clearly meant to remove his vote. Anyone can bold a name of a player, and it doesn't count as a vote. It wasn't a vote. Player's current votes were made in reaction to what stevey did, assuming it was not a vote. I say keep the second one, the one for nickmitch a vote, and remove the one some are perceiving as a vote.

How can you remove "vote" and still have it be a vote? He took it out. It was there, then he edited, and then he took it out. Plain and simple. He didn't expect it to say, and as a veteran player, stevey knows well enough that for a vote to be a vote, it should have "vote" in front of the name. It wasn't a mistake.

Dang it, if my phone hadn't died there wouldn't even be a tie! What is everyone playing anyways. I wanted to vote stevey, everyone votes me instead, finally a choice is made on nickmitch and then everyone votes for stevey while I'm out of action and this us what I return to. And I'm accused of trying to distract people? Where did the stevey turn around come from? If there is a tiebreaker period, I would like to change my vote.

Yes, I can see UB kept it open a little longer than normal, that part was obvious. I say, schedule a tie-break period. If votes need to be corrected, they can be. If nothing changes in the tie-break period, then let the tied parties die. But schedule it so all players know when it is. It doesn't have to be long, like 15 minutes. See what the result is and post the next day soon thereafter.

Who exactly was tied before the extension? I'm talking the normal time he would have closed it.

It was me, Khush, and Nick. Then I pesudo changed my vote to Nick, which caused Toruresu to change to me, which he latter change back to Nick and then rapidly Ninja changed it once again to khush and retied the game.

I chose the second option. No VOTE on the first one invalidates it as a vote. If we count the first thing as a vote then we have to add a new rule that says that bold-ed words in general are forbidden since it implies a vote.

Toruresu! How could you do a thing like that?

Is this a vote?

Who else could Khushrenada be but mafia?

What about this?

Vote Toruresu! How could you do a thing like that?

See how 'vote' radically changes the context? Sure, people made rapid and unthoughtful vote changes because of the bold-ed name, but that is each individual's mistake for jumping to conclusions.

For what it's worth, two of the dead players were monsters so it's possible they could know the identities of both the mafia and the rangers, which would effect how they vote (assuming Khush and/or nickmitch have a role). Then again, it's impossible to tell who votes in the poll, so it's a moot point.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!
